The driver was driving way too fast, we arrived 1h before. The quality of the bus wasn't that good, seats were moving by themselves, seatbels not available on every seat and the AC was on all the time, way too cold.

The driver and bus was on time and checked all tickets. The cabins are exactly as advertised and the driving was stable enough to be able to sleep for most of the trip. We definetly recommend this one.

The bus was about 30 minutes late but picked us up where indicated. The driver drove very fast and a bit reckless, however nothing happened. Having the front seat was not a good idea, as you can see too much (the driver being on the phone, the driving, etc.) There were seatbelts but the size seemed to have been made for a child. I could not fit them. The car hat more people than seats. Two children travelled on the laps of their parents. There was the AC blasting on full but people were super friendly and quiet. At one point, about 10minutes from the drop-off we were asked to switch vehicles even though this was not indicated in our journey. The driver did not speak much english but put our luggage in the new car. The new driver was super friendly, asked us which place we were staying and then dropped us off there. We appreciated this a lot, as it was already dark upon arriv-al (approx. 40 minutes later than scheduled). All in all an average experience. Next time we think of booking a bigger bus, at the driving seemed to be more comfortable there (but the journey takes longer).

Got the van that was pictured but only one of us had a seatbelt. We arrived to Tam Coc only 20 minutes late. The van was comfortable and the driver wasn’t too crazy; he did do one dangerous overtake and made a few phone calls, but by Vietnam standards he was pretty good.

The driver arrived 30 minutes later, but despite this, we arrived on time. There were no seat belts in our seats in the car. We arrived quickly.
